Good daylighting design can reduce electricity consumption for lighting and improve standards of visual comfort, health and amenity for the occupants.As the only comprehensive text on the subject written in the last decade, the book will be welcomed by all architects and building services engineers interested in good daylighting design. The book is based on the work of 25 experts from all parts of Europe who have collected, evaluated and developed the material under the auspices of the European Commission's Solar Energy and Energy Conservation R&D Programmes.DaylightingEuropeDaylightingArchitecture, EuropeanDaylightingDaylighting.Architecture, European.729.28Baker Nick V.1550715Fanchiotti A.Steemers KoenOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910797727803321Daylighting in Architecture3809731UNINA04457nmm 2200493Ia 450 99658806560331620240328111612.03-8394-7143-510.1515/9783839471432(CKB)30977745900041(DE-B1597)671314(DE-B1597)9783839471432(EXLCZ)993097774590004120240328h20242024 fg engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCompeting Climate Cultures in Germany Variations in the Collective Denying of Responsibility and Efficacy /Sarah KesslerBielefeld : transcript Verlag, [2024]©20241 online resource (254 p.)Soziologie der Nachhaltigkeit ;43-8376-7143-7 Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of figures -- List of abbreviations -- List of tables -- Preface & Acknowledgements -- Summary -- Part I - Introduction -- 1 Introduction -- 1.1 Lack of consensus on the IPCC consensus -- 1.2 Structure of study -- Part II - Theoretical and methodological framework -- 2 Literature review and theoretical foundations -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 Responsibility -- 2.3 Efficacy -- 2.4 Ways of knowing -- 2.5 The social organisation of denial -- 2.6 Divergent cultures of climate action and denial -- 2.7 Conclusion -- 3 Methods -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Background -- 3.3 Research design -- 3.4 Expert interview analysis -- 3.5 Media analysis -- 3.6 Focus group interviews with professional groups -- 3.7 Conclusion -- Part III - Empirical findings -- 4 Expert interviews -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 Statements concerning responsibility -- 4.3 Statements related to efficacy -- 4.4 Statements about knowing -- 4.5 Statements pointing towards denial -- 4.6 Conclusion -- 5 Media analysis: Public debates about climate change -- 5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 Elite climate cultures -- 5.3 Climate cultures 'from below' -- 5.4 Conclusion -- 6 The seven focus group discussions -- 6.1 Introduction -- 6.2 I really don't care what comes out of the plane in terms of CO2 - Craftsmen -- 6.3 We only worry about climate change because we are well off - Green startup -- 6.4 There is no [basic human] right to travel by plane - NGO -- 6.5 Climate just exists and cannot be changed - Farmers -- 6.6 I don't think flying per se is as bad as it is always made out to be - Mobility provider -- 6.7 I have not once heard the word 'sustainability' since working here - Industrial enterprise -- 6.8 Flying is indeed something that I don't prohibit for myself - Teachers -- 6.9 Conclusion -- Part IV - Discussion, recommendations and outlook -- 7 Discussion -- 7.1 Introduction -- 7.2 Climate action as 'elite project' obscures climate-cultural diversity -- 7.3 Differentiating climate cultures: Responsibility, efficacy and knowing -- 7.4 Differences in denial -- 7.5 Policy recommendations -- 7.6 Outlook -- 8 Conclusion -- ReferencesDespite frequent protests and abounding discussions about the subject, climate action measures to counter human-made climate change have so far remained largely ineffective. By identifying profound climate-cultural differences, Sarah Kessler offers an explanation to this issue and shows that conventional assumptions of an implicit consensus on the need to prioritise climate action should be reconsidered. She uncovers climate-cultural variations in (implicit and explicit) denial of climate change and thus challenges existing approaches that treat the German public as a unified entity waiting to be activated by the right kind of rationally convincing information.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / GeneralbisacshClimate Change Responsibility.Climate Change.Environmental Policy.Environmental Sociology.Nature.Social Media.Sociology.Sustainability.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.Kessler Sarah, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1733144DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996588065603316Competing Climate Cultures in Germany4148344UNISA02924nam 22006614a 450 991096868830332120200520144314.097866111003089781281100306128110030797804702270840470227087(CKB)1000000000401418(EBL)319331(OCoLC)476116065(SSID)ssj0000169633(PQKBManifestationID)11171093(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000169633(PQKBWorkID)10223440(PQKB)11254442(MiAaPQ)EBC319331(Au-PeEL)EBL319331(CaPaEBR)ebr10295926(CaONFJC)MIL110030(OCoLC)437192544(Perlego)2761710(EXLCZ)99100000000040141820070712d2008 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrHealthcare fraud auditing and detection guide /Rebecca S.
